UCLA is No. 1 in the second RPI Index of NCAA Division I women's programs released on Monday. The Bruins are followed by North Carolina, Stanford, Florida State and Portland. Top-ranked Notre Dame is No. 6.

The RPI rankings give us with an opportunity to see how the 64-team NCAA Tournament field might look if the regular season had ended last weekend.

The 64-team will consist of 30 conference champions and 34 at-large selections.

The ACC is projected to get eight bids, ahead of the Pac-10 with seven and Big 12 with six.

Based on the current RPI index, the 51 teams in the top 64 would in theory be tournament-bound, along with the top-ranked teams of 13 conferences that fall below the top 64.

There are two more Pac-10 teams on the bubble. The Big Ten and CAA have three teams on the bubble -- the least 13 teams ranked among the top 64 in the RPI index.

The RPI is a mathematical formula designed to objectively compare results and strength of schedule.

On Monday, Nov. 10, the day after the end of the regular season, the NCAA will announce the selection of the 34 at-large teams to go along with the 30 automatic qualifiers. (Click here for NCAA Tournament rules.)
